Creating the Big Picture: Improving Instruction Programming through Curriculum Mapping
Wednesday, April 25, 1-2 CST
Presenters: Stefanie Metko and Amanda MacDonald from Virginia Tech

Rapid changes in the higher education landscape have prompted many colleges and universities to make adjustments to their curriculum. Library administrators and librarians can adapt their instructional goals to their institution's needs through the process of curriculum mapping, which is a systematic visual method to support effective alignment between instructional program outcomes and individual instruction sessions or courses. This webinar will cover the purposes and goals for a curriculum mapping program, how to get started with a curriculum mapping program, how to scale the program once the pilot is complete, and how to move forward once the curriculum mapping has yielded meaningful data. Curriculum mapping visualizations showcase areas for scaling instruction and help in revising current instructional programs. In addition, lessons learned and strategies for mentoring other librarians to actively contribute to curriculum mapping within their liaison areas will also be discussed.

Highlights of the webinar:

  *   Obtaining buy-in and funding to initiate a curriculum mapping program
  *   Conducting an initial pilot as a test case for campus-wide scale out
  *   Structuring a team for sustainability and ongoing program success
  *   Generating strategies for creating usable visualizations for communicating results to decision-makers and for developing sustainable instructional programs
  *   Developing a liaison training program to support the curriculum mapping program

Join the ACRL Instruction section for its virtual annual program to discuss four stages of curriculum mapping.  Curriculum mapping <http://acrl.ala.org/IS/instruction-tools-resources-2/higher-education-environment/analyzing-your-instructional-environmen/#mapping> is a systematic approach to reviewing curriculum and identifying of areas in which information literacy instruction would have a high impact.  Library instructors across the country are examining impact, developing outreach strategies, and communicating with both internal and external stakeholders.

*         History of this practice,

*         Strategic programmatic approaches,

*         Project management processes for mapping,

*         Working with campus partners and stakeholders,

*         Communication practices for sharing and using the curriculum map results.

Panelists include:

*         Lisabeth Chabot, College Librarian, Ithaca College Library
